CBIT TECHNICAL ADVISOR

Summary of the Project: The Capacity-building Initiative for Transparency, or CBIT, is part of the GEF's response to the Paris Agreement. It strengthens countries' national institutional capacities on climate transparency, facilitates the development of tools and training, and it improves transparency over time. The CBIT promotes transparency in three key areas: inventories, action, and support. Inventories help determine the country's starting point for tracking progress. Action tracks the progress of a country's mitigation and adaptation efforts. Support tracks technology, training, and financing that have been provided and received. Successful CBIT programming transforms data to information and into action. Description of Duties: 1. Provide expert advice and technical guidance across all project components to ensure technical soundness and integration. 2. Develop and refine the TORs for consultants and subcontractors, ensuring alignment with project goals. 3. Oversee the work of project staff, consultants, and subcontractors, ensuring adherence to project timelines and quality standards. 4. Assist in establishment and operationalization of an online GHG database and information system (GHG DIS) 5. Work closely with the Project Manager and other project staff to synchronize technical strategies with overall project objectives. 6. Evaluate technical methodologies and outputs to ensure they meet international standards and project requirements. 7. Advise on the development and implementation of innovative technical approaches and methodologies for enhanced project outcomes. 8. Facilitate knowledge transfer and capacity building among project team members and stakeholders through technical training sessions and workshops. 9. Assist and review technical sections of project reports and documents for accuracy and coherence. 10. Provide ongoing technical inputs for the development and refinement of project tools and systems. 11.
